right now this former florida governor is stomping for mitt romney. >> florida has been a battle ground state now for so long that both sides are really good at. it i think our side, this year, has the intensity on our side. the number of early votes on the democratic side relative to four years ago where they had an incredible army of support is down 70% and our numbers are up a bit. so i'm pretty optimistic that in florida at least governor romney will win. >> in a bakery just off the interstate, jeb bush is trying to make that happen. for the romney campaign, crucial demographic groups are elderly voters and white men. polls suggest those groups have been shifting to romney. take alex here who voted for obama last time. >> i tend to find more with romney's moderate republican beliefs than i do with obama's beliefs. particularly with regard to the economy. >> if the democrats are losing white voters, they must get more hispanic, female and younger voters on their side. this little bakery turns out to be a crosssection of the entire race. so who will the staff vote for? >> obama. >> i'

no longer just new york, south carolina and florida. now it's in colorado, is obama or romney going to take it? you find too often that people don't realize the latino vote is undersampled when it comes to polling. i think we'll see a lot of surprises tonight. >> well that's surprising, because you have rattled off a bit about the states. and there's a state with more than a million latino voters. on election day you have 2.4 million latinos that have come to -- of age to vote. that's three electoral seats. also because there's such an extreme view that's been taken by republicans that latinos feel like they have no choice but to go democratic. because of the tone republican party has taken in the last year and a half over the latino voter, they feel they have no choice but to go to the democratic party. let's not forget that president bush realized he had to have a tempered tone when it came to the latino people, so he won with a very heavy support by latinos. >> and he has been all over the networks, >> right behind his mom. >> the wh

popular vote across the country has proved very tight, standing at the moment, without the result from florida, 50.2% of the american people supported barack obama, 48.3% for his challenger, mitt romney. we will bring in more electoral votes once the results come through. if we look at the u.s. congress, meanwhile, republicans maintained control of the lower house, democrats have kept their majority in the upper house. this is how those electoral votes stack up, state-by-state. mitt romney, 206 electoral votes, president obama, 303. compared to the last election, president obama 1365 electoral votes, john mccain won on hundred 73. back then, we should say that he won n.c. and indiana, but those states went to mitt romney this time around. let's get the full story of the night from our washington correspondent. >> the first family, stepping out to a second term. to the strains of signed, sealed, committed. looking forward to the inspiration from the voters. >> you, the american people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have to pick ourselves up,

so the republicans are more confident about their chances in florida than they do about their chances here in ohio. >> laura, when i think about the obama campaign, ohio says we know we're going to win it. when i speak to republicans they say absolutely we're going antoine it. there's a lot more enthusiasm for mitt romney than there's been before. who am i to believe? >> nobody. i think the one thing that is true about ohio is that it's atypical in the sense that the president is doing badly amongst white men and white working-class men in particular around the country. although romney has been eroding the slight advantage here in ohio with white working class men, what helps the president here is that bailout of the auto industry because that is helping him with his key demographics. so if it really in the end is about ohio and the 18 votes here, then it may be that something has distorted the race here and helped the president. but nobody yet really even dares to call it. the one thing that both sides are saying very clearly is that early voting is very important. a quarter of the s
